No joke but he needs to be at least be in that mold hence the Hampton comparison too, which were two starting prototypical NTs in play for SB winning teams.

I don't hate the pick. At least we tried for the most important position in a 3-4 instead of taking the safe pick in a ****ing guard or another d end.

True. But, how can a guy who played D-line and is supposedly the Great GM of our time make such a poor pick in T-Jack? I question Pioli's talent and/or objectivity in this department.
And in the QB department of course.

I still see Poe ultimately ending up at the DE spot where his speed/strength will be better utilized in a Ngata type scenario. Pushing the end and letting Hali come off behind him would be terrifying.

Jackson/Powe/Poe in 2013 would be my prediction.

You only let Dorsey go if Dontari Poe has a very good rookie season IMO. The guy has been a solid player for this team. Powe on the other hand might never amount to much. And I am pretty sure that Romeo Crennell wants Poe to be the nose tackle, despite what we have seen of Ngata in Baltimore.

Come on now, the Chiefs have done great drafting the last few years. Tyson Jackson was solid last year and while unlikely, could still take the next step this season.

The 2009 draft was a poor draft, how many times does it have to be said. Look at the top 5-10 picks.

I'm talking about the D-line specifically. If it becomes a machine with Poe, great. If not, you have to question whether or not using/drafting two guys who came from the 4-3 as your foundation is the most brilliant move in talent composition evar.

We've been trying to find a tackle since Phillips and Saleamua hung up their spikes. We finally get one that might fit the bill and some want to turn him into another pedestrian five technique.
